Do the people really believe what the National news put's out????
I listen to them once in awhile ( Msn, Fox, Good Morning America. etc.) and i really cant believe how they try to manipulate idea's ( or should i say trick) into the people's minds. This morning they were saying how alot of the people arent getting the vaccine shot, then they tell you that it may cost you thousands of dollars if you dont get the shot. Said something about if you dont get the shot and get the virus the insurance companies may not pay any, I'd say they are trying to trick everyone into getting the shot. Thats just my Opinion on alot of this "News " you hear from these stations, any others think the same?

They are just trying to make things sound worse to get people to watch their broadcast. Think of drama shows how the last episode of the season is a cliffhanger to get you to watch next year, only the networks do it every day. Some have agenda's too and they are in a different category. I dont think either one is fooling very many people anymore.

ALL news media, in whatever format is selling a product trying to make a dime; frankly anytime a person visits news media in any form, the outlet makes a dime. How the media generates the dime is inconsequential, as long as they stay in the black. Outrageous claims, omitting information, ideological twists, exclusives, fancy headline etc.; these hook people into loving a media source or outright hate it. Even haters gander at sources they dislike, just for entertainment and revel how one outlet is garbage vs. their "real" news source(s). There is not a media source that is transparent and non speculative. Do I personally believe everything that is shared in the media, well if a person dies, they are dead. How the death occurred is the centerpiece of the selling story. The outlet shared the truth that the person died; how the death occurred, whether it be true, skewed, or satire...it sells. I prefer satire as it is humor and laughter is good for the soul. This is my opinion, wrong, right or indifferent, I'm trying to make a dime from this post via trickery.
